El número diario de muertos de covid-19 cayó este lunes en Italia por debajo de los 100, por primera vez en dos meses, anunciaron fuentes oficiales.
En total, 99 pacientes murieron en las últimas 24 horas en la península, según Protección Civil italiana.
Se trata del balance más bajo desde el 9 de marzo (97 muertos) en el momento en que el país, golpeado por la epidemia del nuevo coronavirus, iniciaba el confinamiento.

There are more than 245,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK and more than 34,000 people have lost their lives, government figures show.
However, the total number of deaths relating to coronavirus is thought to be higher, with Office for National Statistics (ONS) data suggesting there had already been more than 41,000 such deaths by the week beginning 8 May.
When all deaths over and above the expected number for the period to 8 May are taken into account, the ONS data suggests the total might be more than 54,000. Some of these deaths are likely to include people with undiagnosed coronavirus or who died as an indirect result of the pandemic.
The number of new daily confirmed cases has been falling since a peak in April, despite an increase in the number of people being tested.
Mas de UK Grave ! Coronavirus UK LIVE: True death toll is over 44,000 as Brits warned of second wave this winter!!
WARNINGS from the deputy chief medical officer of a possible second wave of coronavirus hit the UK as deaths hit 34,796.
Professor Jonathan Van-Tam warned that Covid-19 may return again in autumn and winter as we currently have over one million Brits left unemployed.
During last night's Downing Street briefing, Prof Van-Tam stated it would take a vaccine "really capable of suppressing disease levels" for the country to be "out of this".
The Department of Health said 34,796 people had died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community after testing positive for COVID-19 in the UK, as of 5pm on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organisation Director urged clinicians worldwide to be on "alert" for a condition likened to Kawasaki disease.
The deadly inflammatory syndrome associated with Covid-19 has affected more than 200 children in Europe.
Coronavirus Belgica 55.791 personas se han contagiado en Bélgica, en las ultimas 24 horas han muerto 28 personas mas, elevando la cifra a las 9108 muertes.

Siguiendo con Suecia , la practica de la muerte a los ancianos, plan exterminio!! ! Que se jodan por viejos asi esta la cosa por favor lean !!!!
Care home residents account for nearly half of deaths linked to Covid-19 in Sweden. Some healthcare workers believe an institutional reluctance to admit patients to hospital is costing lives.
Lili Sedghi's father, Reza, was not seen by a doctor on the day he died from coronavirus, at his care home in northern Stockholm.
A nurse told her he'd had a morphine shot in the hours before he passed away, but he was not given oxygen, nor did staff call an ambulance. "No-one was there and he died alone," says Ms Sedghi. "It's so unfair."
Most of the 3,698 people who have died from coronavirus in Sweden so far were over 70, despite the fact that the country said shielding risk groups was its top priority.
Sweden, with 10m inhabitants, has kept more of society open than is the case in most of Europe.
Sweden did ban visits to care homes on 31 March. But as in many European countries, relatives, staff and union officials have shared concerns that protective clothing arrived too late, and that some staff may have gone to work at the start of the crisis despite showing symptoms of Covid-19.
Now, increasing numbers of workers are also coming forward to criticise regional healthcare authorities for protocols which they say discourage care home workers from sending residents into hospital, and prevent care home and nursing staff from administering oxygen without a doctor's approval, either as part of acute or palliative (end-of-life) services.
'We were told not to send them in'
"They told us that we shouldn't send anyone to the hospital, even if they may be 65 and have many years to live. We were told not to send them in," says Latifa Löfvenberg, a nurse who worked in several care homes around Gävle, north of Stockholm, at the beginning of the pandemic.
"Some can have a lot of years left to live with loved ones, but they don't have the chance... because they never make it to the hospital," she says. "They suffocate to death. And it's a lot of panic and it's very hard to just stand by and watch."
Latifa Löfvenberg works as a nurse in Stockholm
Ms Löfvenberg is now working on a Covid-19 ward in a major hospital in the Swedish capital, where she says the demographic of patients she's treating is further evidence that the elderly are being kept away. "We don't have many older people. It's a lot of younger people born in the 90s, 80s, 70s."
A paramedic working in Stockholm, who wanted to remain anonymous, told the BBC she had not had a single call-out to an elderly care home connected to Covid-19, despite putting in overtime during the crisis.
Mikael Fjällid, a Swedish private consultant in anaesthetics and intensive care, says he believes "a lot of lives" could have been saved if more patients had been able to access hospital treatment, or if care home workers were given increased responsibilities to administer oxygen themselves, instead of waiting for specialist Covid-19 response teams or paramedics.
"If you need care and you can benefit [from] care, for example, or oxygen for a short time, you should have it. Like any other age group in the population," says Mr Fjällid, a right-wing critic of the centre-left led government.
"If you have more than 20% that survive without nothing, you could assume that also perhaps the same amount or the same proportion would have survived with supplemental oxygen."
Swedish state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell argues Sweden’s strategy is largely working
In April 10,458 people died in Sweden, making it the country's deadliest month since 1993, when there was an outbreak of seasonal flu, state-funded Statistics Sweden reports.
National guidelines
Decisions about healthcare staffing and resources are taken at a regional level in Sweden, although national guidelines suggest that elderly patients, whether in state or privately run care homes, should not automatically be taken to hospital for treatment.
Dr Thomas Linden, Chief Medical Officer at the National Board of Health and Welfare, says workers should "professionally weigh the potential benefits" against risk factors such as catching the virus in hospital and the "costs" of transporting patients, including the likelihood of disorientation and discomfort.
Healthcare workers are asked not to discriminate on age alone, he says, although biological age may be relevant in combination with other factors.
When it comes to providing palliative care, it is not mandatory to give patients oxygen, and Dr Linden admits "the opinions on the value of oxygen is divided between specialities and regions".
Gävleborg, the region where Latifa Löfvenberg worked at the start of the pandemic, says individual patients' needs are always put first and that nurses can call doctors to make assessments about the need for hospital care.
It is against the idea of care-home workers administering oxygen during palliative care, because it requires specialist training.
Christoffer Bernsköld, a spokesperson for geriatric care for Region Stockholm, insists there are enough resources to ensure patients in the capital get acute or palliative care, with a focus on "specialist homecare units" providing help in the first instance.
Most Swedish victims of the virus have been over 70 years old
He points to a new, unused, military field hospital in southern Stockholm as proof that the elderly are not being held back from treatment because of a lack of beds.
But he says it can be an "ethical dilemma" whether to administer oxygen or transfer patients to hospital.
CORTOS DE CAMAS Y DE OXIGENOS HASTA EN LAS GRANES FAMILIAS !!
Critics like Mikael Fjällid see that field hospital as a sign that officials in the capital have been cautious about hospitalising the elderly because they fear overstretching resources, which would be needed to cope with a future spike in cases.

Coronavirus en Perú: fila de carros fúnebres para sacar muertos por COVID-19!!!
Perú es el segundo país latinoamericano, después de Brasil, con más afectados por COVID-19, con 94.933 casos confirmados y 2.790 fallecidos.
Varias carrozas fúnebres hicieron fila este lunes en la puerta de un hospital del Callao, ciudad portuaria contigua a la capital peruana, Lima,para retirar cuerpos de víctimas de la pandemia del coronavirus y llevarlos a los cementerios.
"De acá (hospital) salen a diario muchas carrozas. Los médicos dicen que la única manera que haya cama disponible es que alguien fallezca", explicó a la AFP en el lugar David Carrera, quien visita a su padre enfermo en el hospital Luis Negreiros del Callao, sobre el oceáno Pacífico.
Asi esta la cosa en Peru
"La mayoría de los pacientes están muy mal y los que no los envían a la Villa Panamericana para desocupar camas" del hospital, explicó este mecánico de 44 años.
Por su parte, Deysi Huamán, 39 años, declaró llorando a la AFP que por la falta de una máquina para respirar su esposo falleció la noche del domingo. "Vengo a recoger el cadáver de mi esposo, él necesitaba una máquina. Él me dijo no me dejes morir", sostuvo mortificada.
"Cuando el paciente muere recién te llaman", agregó la esposa de este chef de 42 años de un restaurante de Lima.
Casi el 70% de los casos del coronavirus en Perú se registran en Lima y el vecino puerto del Callao.
Antes de la pandemia, era usual que muchas familias peruanas velaran a sus fallecidos en casa y luego acudieran en masa a los cementerios, acompañados hasta con orquestas tradicionales andinas. Nada de esto se puede hacer ahora.
"No sé si es mi papá, me lo van a entregar en una bolsa sellada. De frente van ir al cementerio, crematorio no hay porque hay un motón de cadáveres", aseguró a la AFP Gloria Bailón, de 37 años, quien confesó que tiene dudas de estar contagiada por el coronavirus.
Una directiva sanitaria publicada por el Ministerio de Salud el 22 de marzo dispuso que los fallecidos por COVID-19 deben ser cremados, salvo en las ciudades o pueblos donde no hay crematorios. En ese caso son enterrados.
"Nosotros recogemos al fallecido del mortuorio para llevarlos en ataúd forrado con plástico a los cementerios", dijo Rafael Sara, 38 años, trabajador de una funeraria.
